This is a quick generic solution that I'm using where you don't need to know what the classes are of the popovers in advance. I haven't tested it super extensively. Also I'm using toggle below as I had some problems with the hide behaving quite differently than the toggle.

  var $currentPopover = null;
  $(document).on('shown.bs.popover', function (ev) {
    var $target = $(ev.target);
    if ($currentPopover && ($currentPopover.get(0) != $target.get(0))) {
      $currentPopover.popover('toggle');
    }
    $currentPopover = $target;
  });

  $(document).on('hidden.bs.popover', function (ev) {
    var $target = $(ev.target);
    if ($currentPopover && ($currentPopover.get(0) == $target.get(0))) {
      $currentPopover = null;
    }
  });
